    Gomen for *that* depressing post geez louise did I sound dramatic. That was during one of my low weeks so.


    IM BACK YOSH. HOLD ON. UH. Well. I'd say I'd at least drag Crys in here to say hello but she's still AWOL. I only heard from her once, and that was to express how amazing cotton candy is when I thought something about it. So I think she's ok. Or at least she was during that moment.


    In her words: Cotton candy is eating a cloud made of sugar. It's got the taste of carmalized Essence of Pure Sugary Sugar (with flavour) and has the texure of melting sheep's wool, and overall, is completely and totally delicious.


    My reply was pretty much 'I didn't know you were such a cotton candy enthusiast' but she was already gone and thus did not reply. :\


    WOAH OK I THINK WEST MISSED DRIFT I SCROLLED BACK UP TO FINISH READING YOUR MESSAGE AND SAW HER NAME AND HE LIKE JUMPED OUT OF HIS SKIN IN EXCITEMENT UPON SEEING IT AND-


    West: *bursts in and tackle-hugs Drift* Drift!!! I've missed you tons!!!


    Natty: Oh! Well, that- that's ok, we've all got things we don't like about ourselves... Um, um. How- how old are you?? *trying to make conversation*


    Ben: Excuse-moi, miss. (<-- not french just a dork) *gently tries to cut into convo with Surge* I understand that this might be a sensitive topic, feel free to shut me down but um, *kind of ahems and rubs his hands on his jeans* I heard you have robotic parts? *blue eyes all twinkly and shy because rOBOT GIRL WOW ROBOTS RO BO TS HOLY HECK RO BOT S S S S YEAH*


    August: *nods*


    Silas: Whatever thhen, ss' fine withh me. *shrugs and glances at Adria* You got a problem? (haha my brain wants to read his words in a more hissle-y sollux sorta voice)


    Cat boy: *glances at Alexei and pulls down his hood farther, pulling a cat into his arms to stroke*


    Me: WHERE'S RIVEN I WANNA SEE HER. I miss her.

    Me: I'ASMDFS'DFKALSDMFA'SKLDF I'M SOR YGLALLRDY YOU CANMME BACKCKKCKK IC AN'T TTYPE AS;FJ HAAAA
    someone kill me now i can't control myself what's wrong with me i'm starving that's probably it i need food yeah that's it prob--


    Drift: WESTIEE!!! *HUGSHUGSHUGSOHTHEHUGS* Aw, I missed you soooo much! Where've you been? How are ya? How's Yuu? Are you two okay? *hugs tighter 'cause gosh darn it that Westie's been gone too long*


    Surge: *minor recoil because eesh who the heck* Uhhh-hh. Yes. QUESTY KEEPS FORGETTING WHO BEN IS What about it? *p olite tone because she isn't a hostile person but yeah*


    Riven: *pokes Kitsu gently in the back* Right here. *smiles a bit* How's it goin'?

    NO ITS OK YOU DONT EVEN KNOW BENJAMIN I THINK no worries


    Me: Riven! *whirls around* Can I hug you?? Like, is that ok? I know you're not big on touchy, but...?


    West: Yeah! I've been trying to support Kitsu and comfort some of the others that weren't so comfortable with the place she had to go... But we're back now! Well, except for Crystal, she left before we even went, but most of the rest of us are back! Yuu is doing great, I mean, a bit grouchy maybe, but I think that's because a girl from school teased him about his hair.


    Slate: *peeks in cautiously, eyes trained on Questy* *shuffles forward a teeny bit* *gets shoved forward by Yuu who is trying to come through the door* *squeaks and runs forward via the Go Get Em Look given by Yuu and stands in front of Questy, carefully holding his arms out shyly for a hug, averting eyes and trembling*


    Ben: *scratches the back of his head* Oh! Well, if it's ok, I'd- Well, I'd love to... to take a look one day? Or no! That's fine too. I mean, if you want, I'd at least like to let you know that if you need repairs I'd be totally fine doing them, ever, I mean, because, because I do that kind of thing.
    Robots, I mean. *fairy-bot made of clean white hard material flies in with fluttering fake dragon wings and lands on Ben's shoulder*


    Fay: *tilts head, eyes replaced by a question mark on her eye-screens* You are a robot?


    Ben: *kinda points to Fay with a nervous chuckle as if to say 'like I said, robots'*

    Cho: ... *takes a little step back and watches Drift and West* Ah. *muttering* Hello, West. I do not think we have met...


    Naomi: *signs happily like she didn't notice the pauses* It's okay! I'm used to it all. I am... *draws a really big one and then does a six in the way Natty can see it before her hands move quickly again* Sixteen! Can I guess your age?


    Zenith: *quickly sidesteps out of the conversation to keep from being awkward and pats the top of Zip's head* Hey, what's the most complicated or confusing sentence of computer-speak you can think of?


    Keona: *gently ruffles the top of August's head* My, you're really sweet. Do you have a... guardian? Someone who takes care of you?


    Zee: *exhales and runs out of the room, muttering a word that started with a T*


    Adria: *flinches* Ah! Nonono I don't I don't!! *waves his hands out in front of him nervously* I just... your teeth... [size=7pt]really cool...[/size]


    Alexei: Cats... *silently walks over next to Cat Boy and sits down among the cats, careful not to step on any*


    Me: Didn't amongst used to be a word?

    OH GOOD I WASN'T SURE I WAS ALARMED ACTUALLY


    Riven: Eh, sure, why not? It's a special occasion. *finger guns + wink then hugs* Are you any better?


    Drift: ^u^ *ruffles West's wolf hat fur* You're such a good friend, Westie, what'd we do to getcha? *hugs again*


    Ruin: *appears at 'made fun of'* =.= Who shall I kill? Name the target. *swings baseball bat experimentally*


    Trinkett: Calm yerself, Ruin. -.- I don't like 'splainin' to the principal what you always 're doing...


    Ruin: *glares* Tough cookies, Trink.


    Me: nonsfooafdjlk nooooooooo too cutee can't can't can't afsjd //rolls round on the floor *plods forward and faceplants in feahethehrersss shoulder*

    [size=4pt]Hi Slate. Are you okay?[/size] *huggles*


    Surge: *stares at Ben, sideways glance at Zenith and Zip* U-Uh.... S-Sure. I mean. I'm not *points at fairy bot?* that kind of thing... I'm mostly... bionic. *raps knuckles on left arm producing hollow, low thrum noise* Just a couple parts. My right eye, left arm, part of my leg, and some of my spine. Lots in my brain. *taps forehead* What would you ah... need... to know? *kind of nods a bit at the offer and then stares wide-eyed at Fay* W-Wow. That's. Uhm. She. Huh. *amazed* Wow.


    Drift: Oh! Cho-san, this is mah bestie, Westie! *laughs at rhyme because gosh what a dork* Westie, *gestures at Cho* This is my other good buddy, Cho-san! She's pretty amazing! ^.^


    Zip: *gives sympathetic look to both of them, looking up when Zenith pats his head* Uhhhm... Let's see... *pauses, scratches head* Well... Did I tell you about the ARQ protocol? Uhm... Let's see, the ARQ protocol is for things like when you're trying to send a data transmission, and it keeps erroring. It's a way of control. The ARQ stands for 'Automatic Repeat Request. So, if there's an error in the data packet, the protocol sends for the transmitter to resend the data. With the ARQ protocol, the 'resend' order is sent again and again and again until the data doesn't have any more errors... or until the failure keeps going past a set amount of transmissions. Was that tech-y enough for you? *grins and shoots with a finger gun*


    Me: *totally didn't have to look that up*

    Zenith: *stares at Zip with a blank expression* ... *flicks Zip's nose and turns to Surge* I'd say that you're technically a cyborg, right? Because you're not all robot-- which it a good thing because then I wouldn't get to see you laugh to genuinely...


    Cho: *blinks in rapid distress* ...Hello... *raises a hand hesitantly and waves while looking at the ground*

    Me: Not 100%, but better, yeah.


    West: Oh! My bad! *sticks out hand* Sorry about that, I'm West, as you know! I've seen you around plenty, but I guess I never formally introduced myself, huh?


    Natty: Yeah sure! Not many people ever get it right... *giggles shyly and gently touches her bangs <-- she does that habitually to be sure they're in place*


    Ben: *glances sideways at Zip with a brief expression of 'ah someone who really knows their stuff!' then turns back to Surge* I really wouldn't have to know anything, I mean, I can figure out a lot about the way stuff works just by looking at it.


    Fay: Thank you. Ben has put a lot of effort into my creation. He is always adding more.


    Ben: *sheepishly rubs the back of his head again* I've got a few others.


    Fay: A few is an incorrect term. Silly head! More like-


    Ben: Fay, we don't have to get specific. I'll go with... a lot, heheh. *more awkward neck scratching what a dork*


    August: *seems to brighten fractionally* N- *pauses, getting a slightly terrified expression* N...


    Noah: Noah. I'm Noah. *comes up behind August (he'd been standing off in a corner keeping an eye on him*


    August: *nods*


    Silas: Oh? Thankssth. It weirds mosst people out. *his tongue kind of flicks out on the s's - round and cut on the end like a snakes like wow how does he even talk at all no wonder he slurs*


    Yuu: *jumps* Ah-h- R-Ruin! It's nothing, nande mo nai! *flushes hard because he's got MANLY PRIDE to take care of*


    Me: *turns* Oh hey Trink! What's new with you?


    Slate: Y-Yeah! Y-You? I m-mean, are you ok? You *are* ok-k right?

    Zip: *sneezes a couple times, but is laughing anyway because gosh what a dork*


    Surge: *smiles at Zenith* You're right - but sometimes my brain messes up *taps side of head* and I act more robot than human.


    Zip: That's why I'm around all the time. *smirks*


    Riven: Well! I'm glad to hear that you're doing a bit better. *smiles*


    Drift: *grinning because golly gee two friends in the same room! Oh the excitement!!*


    Surge: *to Ben* Oh... Alright. How do you do that? That sounds like a handy ability to have...


    Zip: *nodding emphatically* If I could do that, it'd be an enormous help - you're a pretty fortunate guy.


    Ruin: *squints at Yuu, bringing bat to rest on the ground* Hmph. *pokes him gently in the shoulder* Alright, Mister. But if it bothers you enough to get to be really bad... *trails off and looks meaningfully at bat* But, in the mean time-- *hurls bat across the room, quite possibly hitting Shift in the face by accident*


    Trinkett: Ahh! Nothing too t-terribly much! *hair swooshies* Just trying to keep Xido out of trouble! ^.^; He picked a fight with some sports guy yesterday. So I had to intervene...


    Me: *nods, nods* Mm-hmmm, I'm fine, just fine. Has your week been okay so far?

    But hey, it's a start Kitsu.


    Cho: Yes... *sticks her hand out stiffly and shakes West's hand, squeezing tightly and letting go quickly*


    Naomi: *taps her chin thoughtfully for a few seconds, looking Natty up and down rapidly* ...Fourteen?


    Zenith: *at Surge and Zip* Good thing to have you two here then! *stares curiously at Ben and Fay* Huh. That's pretty cool...


    Keona: Oh? *looks at Noah before she stands up and brushes off her knees* It's nice to meet you. *staring straight at Noah, nods but doesn't offer to shake hands or any of the formal stuff* I would assume you know what my name is then? *still addressing Noah and watching August out of the corner of her eye whoops too little context is my fault entirely*


    Adria: Well... as much as I've looked into it I've never actually seen someone like you this functional... some I've seen with short arms or their teeth grew clean through their lower jaw... maybe I should stop talking. *awkwardly looks away, sort of nervous*


    Me: *cringes and laughs at my own spelling error a few posts ago* Yes... he is teeth...

    Ben: Oh, you know, it's not too difficult. All parts have differences, no matter how minute. I just know what they all do and don't do, what they can and can't connect with, how they work, all that stuff. It's pretty easy, I mean I've been studying robotics and biology as long as I can remember - I took tons of classes for them in college too.


    Natty: H-Hey you guessed closer than some people do! Um, I'm uh, 17, actually. Bu-But don't worry! *shakes hands and head frantically back and forth, fluffy hair swinging* I get that all the time!


    Noah: *makes a hmming sound but doesn't really say yes or no*


    August: Oh, this is... um... S- Key-


    Noah: Keona. *nods in greeting*


    Silas: No, that'sth- that makessth ssthenssthe, I've sstheen a lot of people more messssthed up than me. The fact that I can even ssthurvive is pretty lucky.


    Switch: Ooh! Guess what? (where did she come from what) We went to a craft store today! There were ribbons and feathers and flowers and sparkles and all kinds of fun stuff! Oh gosh golly there were animal figures like polar bears - West really wanted one - and dragons - it'd be soooo cool to have a dragon right??? - and omg this really cute turtle I wanted to buy for Crystal but I didn't have the money for! Oh, but there were also elephants and zebras and lions and crabs and a WHOLE bunch of other animals she would have loved, man, I wish she would have been there! Oh oh oh!! And Kitsu bought her cat a cat toy with CATNIP in it how great is that??! (boy was someone excited I was like being physically restrained by mchan because I was darting about like OOH LOOKIE OOH THAT OOH THIS and i was like CHARACTERS CUT IT OUT THIS IS A BAD PLACE TO BE WITH ALL OF YOU APPARENTLY)


    Me: Oh really? What made him get into the fight then?


    Slate: Oh it-it's b-been fine! Um, n-nothing t-too interesting happened-d though. N-Nothing new with y-you then?

    Me *doppleganger 1*: I am so tiredddd afdskl;j;dflksdll l i need this day to be overrrrrrr *the quester's brain has ceased to work*


    Drift: *busy freaking out in a happy way that her friends are friends now like HOLy CoW MANNN FRIENENNDSSS ARE FRIENNDNSSS >u< UWAAAAA* ^u^ ^u^


    Surge: *grabs Zenith's arm* Ha! But if we didn't have you, Z, we wouldn't have the laughs that we do!


    Zip: She has a point. ^.^ *busy being a dorkus and fanboying over Ben and Fay* That's pretty cool, man. What kinda classes did you take while you were there?


    Me *doppleganger 2*: //whispers// metal can i give you a hug


    Shift: (NO STOP YOU CAN'T JUST BARGE IN HERE LIKE THIS SHIFT LISTEN TO YOUR CREATOR--) Oh, wow!!! *pounces on Switch* AFDs;lj I wish we had catnip here! Holy moly you know who collects animal figures? A lot of people apparently! I found these little baby penguins in a drawer!! Like holy cowwww!! I wish I could've been there with you!!! I love craft stores because yarnnnnn oh yarn yes lots of yarn (Shift, restrain yourself) No! I like it. *hugs Switch* I'm glad you had a fun time.


    Me *doppleganger like what 3 now?*: /whispers/ kits you need hug too c'mere


    Trinkett: *sighs heavily* Xido was being a dweeb and trying to instigate an argument because he could hear something like Top-50 Pop music or something that he was listening to. I had to carry him away because it almost got to physical blows, that dork. -.- *genuinely annoyed to the point where he's not messing with his hair anymore*


    Me: *shakes head* Nope. Just lots of people being weird, and lots of busyness but that's life so... I started 5 new writing/drawing things which I shouldn't have because I'm drowning in stuff. *sighs* But, oh well. That's nothing new. *hugs again because asfkdj; Slatee*

    West: So when did you both meet?


    Ben: Oh, things like bioengineering, biology, applied computational mathematical sciences, applied mechanics, chemical engineering, chemistry, electrical engineering, engineering/applied science, environmental sciences/engineering, mechanical engineering, mathematics, physics... I took a lot of classes, I was super busy, but... Well, I learned a lot of stuff, that's for sure!


    Doppelganger Kitsu 1: *goes over for a Questy hug*


    Switch: Ohh, well, we could always visit Sam! He's got that garden and I knooowww he's got catnip growing there. Actually, I think West brought some home for the cats around our house! Also for Sunkist. I know that new boy with all the animals has catnip for his cats.


    Me: Wow, dweeb indeed. Haha, well, at least he's keeping up a... lively life?


    Slate: OH, well, K-Kitsune does that all the t-time! I'm s-sure you'll g-get through it just fine! Just t-take it one baby st-step at a t-time, that's what West always t-tells me.


    Crystal: *kind of sidles in and leans against the wall*


    Me: OH CRYSTAL, you're back!!


    Crystal: Yeah, duh, I posted something last night. Reblogged something. Whatever.


    Me: Did you... find anything out? About... the messages?


    Crystal: *tenses* Not really... Not about who sent them. [size=4pt]But turns out, whoever they were, they were right. The boy really did...[/size] *rubs her face* I don't wanna talk about it.


    Me: Ok, I.. I understand. :\ *concern concer n cO NCER N FOR MY BBY*

    Cho: ... *shrugs and looks at Drift for an answer*


    Naomi: *mimes giggling by covering her mouth with one hand and smiling* Wow, you're older than you look! How cute~ *still smiling really widely and wiggles her eyebrows jokingly*


    Keona: *looks from August to Noah and back, deciding they're not related and putting her hands on her hips habitually* ... *stares Noah down, pursing her lips slightly* ... You don't speak much, do you?


    Zenith: I suppose that's quite true *bows down* my queen. *raises his head to look at Surge like a puppy*


    Me: *huggles the Quest* Hey uhh Koli's back from the unused character grave wanna give it a go?


    Adria: Hey... you get enough to eat? I know about the Snake thing, but even then... *gets distracted by the scale-y problem (he really likes reptiles ever since he managed to tame an Emperor Cobra that one time)*

    Natty: Ahh?! *blushes hard* R-Really? I-I mean, I think it's kind of silly- n-not c-cute???


    Noah: Why should I? It's a waste of breath.


    Silas: *stiffens and briskly lies* I do.


    Amanda: Yo!


    Me: Oh, Amanda's here!


    Amanda: Yeah, hey! Oh, Natty's here! *waves to Natty*


    Natty: *shyly gives a wave back*


    Amanda: Have you seen Kasper?


    Me: Huh? Oh, well, I did invite her to come, but she was in the middle of knitting a hat, so I think she should be here any time now-


    Kasper: Hey! Did I hear my name? ^ ^


    Amanda: Yeah, I was lookin' for ya! *grins*


    Kasper: Oh! I was just finishing something up. *pulls black knit cap with a dark red knit flower over her wild long black hair* Ta-da! Whatcha think?


    Amanda: Oooh, cute!


    Kasper: Thank you~!

    Doppleganger Questy #??: I have given up on any and all productivity. So. Here I am. //whispers of 'so sorrrryyyyyy' emanate from the bacground as Questy lays down to die//


    Drift: *happy shrugging* Hmm! I'm not sure... Maybe... when was it - when Rayk wanted a group of random people to get together for something or other? Was that it?


    Zip: *nodding, taking info in* Wowzers, man, that's a lot! I was thinking of when/if I go to college - or at least take online classes or something, I don't know - that I'd want to go to school for that kind of thing. Do you have any suggestions on what to start with?


    Doppelganger Questy #1: *collapses in hug*


    Shift: *picks Switch up* Well then what are we waiting for?! Let's go!! ^.^


    Trinkett: *nervous shy scratching head* Haaa, yeah, I guess. But sometimes he needs to just chill a little bit, y'know? He's a lively sort...


    Me: *hugshugsnodshugs* Very good advice. I think I'll follow it. Or at least die trying, I s'pose... *sleerpy*


    Me Doppelganger #2: I shall try meh best, Metal-sama, even if it kills me dead!! *insert heroic pose here*


    Okay but seriously Zenith STAHP BEING A CUTIE PATOOT I CANNOT HANDLE THIS AT THIS POINT IN TIME


    Surge: D'aww! ^u^ *ruffles his hair like a dog or smth idk man she's a weird robogirlchickperson* If I'm a queen, then what does that make you? *teases because heck Zip is a drag apparently*


    Me #whatever-doppelganger-this-is: Well. I have threads. And stuff. ANd I 'm going to piano in a bit. In th emeantime. Farewell. Wish me luck.

    Naomi: *waves a hand in the air dismissively, still smiling* You look really young, and I think you look really cute when you're young!


    Cho: *nods* It was for... Crystal?


    Keona: Not according to plants! *secretly hoping there are actual plants in the room to prove her point*


    Adria: *frowns* Sorry... that came out ruder than I thought... It's been a while since I've been around more prominent mutants...


    Zenith: Your loyal servant, ma'am *grinning though you can't see it as he's facing the floor and blushing somewhat*


    Me: *has given up trying to discern what was happening* Good luck Questy


    Zee: *quietly strolls back into the room with Trinity, who appears to be whispering at high speeds*


    Trinity: Hey Zee why couldn't Eon come? Oh oh I bet it's cause he broke the glass window and has to work overtime now. Zee can I borrow your eyeliner sometime? Oh look new people a lot of them seem nice blah blah blah

    The post was edited 1 time, last by ♏etalchrome ().

    Natty: Oh gee, wow- *buries face in hands and squeaks a thank you* Y-Y-You... *says rapidly* Um, y-you're cute too!


    West: *tilts head* For Crystal, huh? Hmm... *looks kind of curious*


    Ben: Well, as great as online classes can be, it's definitely best to go to an actual college - the experience of having professors in person is really worth it. Plus discussing things with other students can be super helpful.


    Switch: *giggles* Sure thing, Cap'n Whiskers!


    Me: Well, I think everyone can learn new things and boundaries and all kinds of things... No one's perfect, after all. But I do agree. Oh well, something'll get through his thick skull eventually. *laughs*


    Slate: No way! Y-You can't die, ok?!


    Noah: *runs fingers through hair* I'm not mother nature. Plants aren't my job. Pressing buttons day after day is; plants aren't going to drastically change that.


    August: *quietly* I like buttercups...


    Silas: Iths fine. I jussth don't like talking about it. Bad memoriesth.


    Amanda: *turns to Zee and Trinity* Oh hey! I haven't seen you two before. I'm Amanda! This is my friend Kasper. Who are you guys? ^^

    Me: *scREAMS* I'M SO SORRY I HAVEN'T REPLIED AHGHGHHhhhhhhhhhhhh


    Naomi: *smiles and unknowingly blushes, signing carefully* Thank you *pause* ... Have you dated anyone?


    Cho: It was... a long time ago. I do not think she wants me to talk about it... *awkwardly rubs her arm*


    Keona: Geez, you've got to lighten up a little. *rests her hands on her hips* I'm gonna give you a better personality and you won't be able to do a thing about it!
    You've gotta do something other than button pushing, right?


    Adria: *nods* Got it. Ahh... *falls silent, trying to think up a better conversation idea*


    Zee: I'm Zee an--


    Trinity: I'm Trinity! You can just call me Trin for short. Zee sometimes calls me--


    Zee: Trin. Think before you speak. *nervous glaring*

    Me: Sudden question: Is it Ah-dria or Ay-dria?


    Natty: *stiffens and flushes hard* U-uh! *<- squeaks* W-Well, I mean, I had a girlfriend in the past- I- I MEAN- UM- ER- *starts waving her hands frantically* I meant I dated someone in the past! A person! One!


    West: Well ok, that's fine. What are your hobbies, Cho?


    Noah: Good luck.


    August: *looking back and forth between the two, a confused expression on his face*


    Silas: Sstho uh, wh-where are you from?


    Amanda: Cool! Nice to meet you!


    Kasper: You two are lovely! uwu

    Me: it's-


    Adria: No don--


    Me: EYYYY-dria!


    Naomi: *smiles and mimes laughter, a faint coughing noise coming from her chest* Natty...


    Cho: *considers attempting a joke, realizes it wouldn't work and forgets* I... kick box...


    Keona: *mentally screaming* Do you not want to try? Don't you dare give me the "there's no point to it" speech! I know there isn't! That's the reason I do everything! It has no influence whatsoever on anyone who isn't me! *sighs without waiting for a response* August, do you want to go get some ice cream? I know a good place


    EyyAdria: Iiiiii'mm... from Florida. Was. I was born in Florida. Moved to Michigan when I was three, then my parents moved back to their hometown in Hawaii when I turned ten. I got enough money and moved back to the States a few months ago.


    Zee: ...


    Trinity: Ah! Th-thank you!!


    Zee: Kasper, right? Do you mind if I ask your heritage?
